Fog Linen Work

Sort by:

Yumiko Sekine started her business in 1993 importing used books and houseware from Europe and America to Japan. In her search for more products, she could not find affordable every day linens that she had used during her childhood. She visited Lithuania, a country that grows flax, whose fibers are spun into linen, and has been producing and exporting linen products to other European countries since the Middle Ages. She was disappointed to find that there were no linen products for daily use available in the stores there. This led her to contact several linen producers and started to have them produce her own product designs in Lithuania - you can see photos of the people making her products here.

Her first collection started with only seven items. Now after ten years, Fog Linen Work produces a large line of linen products for the home and linen clothing.

Its products are leading and defining the natural lifestyle trend today.
Sekine continues to be inspired to create beautiful simple products for daily use.
